Last week I was hit by a nasty cold. I didn't have the energy to workout and I just felt drained. I also caused a mini-disaster by closing the garage door on Gary's car. This lead to much frustration and many hours and dollars lost.

The weekend went by fast. My brother was in town and we spent some time with him and his girlfriend. We also visited an exotic animal rescue center and got some formal family portraits taken.

Yesterday the whole family went to the dentist. We've been very happy with Dr. Brown and his office is only a 10 minute walk from our house. Nathan did so well, Dr. Brown did a complete cleaning and polishing for all his teeth.

Finally, as my maternity leave is winding down, I'm starting to get anxious about putting Benjamin in daycare. I'm not worried about the school; they're fine. And I'm not worried about going back to work; I like my job. I mostly anxious about not being within earshot of him. I've been in the same building, and almost always the same room, as Benjamin his whole life. I'll miss him so much once he starts daycare.

Purim was fun. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. Nathan decided at the last minute to be superman instead of a train engineer, but that was fine. Benjamin didn't have a choice, but he didn't seem to care about being a cow. I was inspired to make hamentashen cookies, but they devolved into circle cookies with jam in the center.

I'm working on increasing my jogging miles. I do about 12 per week and max 4 miles at once. I find that the right music makes all the difference in keeping me energized when I run. My latest project is making some good jogging music mixes.

Thankfully, Benjamin is still a champion sleeper. He regularly sleep 7-9 hours straight. I think it has alot to do with the fact that he is proficient at sucking his thumb. Since Nathan was NOT a good sleeper as a baby, I can really appreciate it.









Genetic Disease Of The Week

Aniridia is an eye disorder caused by poor or uncomplete development of the iris. Other eye problems, such as nystagmus, cataract, glaucoma, and corneal abnormalties can be present as well. Isolated anirida is due to mutation in the PAX-6 gene and is inherited in an autosommal dominant fashion.

Current Read


Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was an excellent thriller. It is the story of a betrayed investigative journalist and a young fringe private investigator trying to solve a 35 year old murder mystery in Sweden. The beginning was slow with too many suspects to keep track of, but my the middle my attention was hooked, and the end was a ton of fun. I'm sure it will be made into a movie, hopefully a good one. I give it a 9 out of 10.
